Garden Revamp:
This one is our very own back garden. It started out on multi levels with rotten decking and lots and lots of concrete (8 tipper loads to be precise) it is now one level meaning it's safe for our 2 year old to run around in. It is made up of a beautiful grey Indian sandstone patio with matching pathway. New turf and a sleeper raised bed along the back fence. We still have bits to do to finish it off but me personally I am over the moon with it and it means we have somewhere to chill out and play safely.
